An electric vehicle (EV) charging schedule
algorithm was proposed in this paper in order to charge EVs to
meet EV users’ driving needs with the minimum EV charging
cost and respect the local distribution system constraints. A
day-ahead dynamic distribution system tariff scheme was
proposed to avoid congestions in local distribution systems
from the day-ahead planning perspective. Locational marginal
pricing method was used to determine the dynamic
distribution system tariff based on predicted day-ahead spot
prices and predicted charging behaviors. Distribution grids of
the Bornholm power system were used to carry out case
studies to illustrate the proposed EV charging schedule
algorithm.
